Bug is doing great. Yesterday I sent off his nursery forms for his 15 free
hours next year. I'm not actually feeling too sure about my decision. I
put down for nurseries in the town where I work, same town childminder lives, incase he is given hours that clash with work or my
childminder. My childminder has been great and said if she has him she
can drop him off and pick him up. I put down three choices that I've
heard good things about. To be honest if I'm not comfortable with it he
doesn't need to go. I don't have an issue with nurseries, I'm just
thinking he already see's a childminder and if these nursery hours don't
clash with my working hours that's more he's away from me when I could
be doing things with him, taking him out places etc.
Here the cut off to start school is the end of February. This means Bug will be one of the older ones is his school year and it means he won't start school until he's almost 5.5 years old. [My nephew, who is five days older than Bug could start when he's almost 4.5 years old]. In a way I'm glad Bug was a March baby and that decision was made for me. Anyway my point with this was that Bug will have another year of nursery, 2014-2015 so for the second year of nursery I'll move him to the nursery that is within the primary school he'll go to. That's in the town where I live and makes sense to let him get used to the place before he starts school and is there for longer hours.
That's the plan. It's actually quite scary that I'm thinking about nursery and my baby boy starting school. Where does the time go?
Edit... The council phoned later this morning. My first choice of nursery has now merged with a Gaelic nursery. I felt really put on the spot when I was asked if I still wanted to keep it as my first choice. I decided yes because I've only heard good things about the nursery. It's now in a new location but it's still near enough tothe childminder. They're going to forward my forms onto the nursery. Once I got of the phone I looked up the merge online and I'm still feeling positive about it. The Gaelic nursery was one that fed into a school that teaches Gaelic so it'll just be a bonus if Bug learns any new words. Of course I might not even get my first choice! I'm glad that I've finally sent the forms off and I know they've been received. I'll just need to see what happens, I think I should find out about his placement in December.
